If your package is in transit on the first delivery attempt, but you'd prefer to pick it up, you'll have to place a "hold for pickup" request first. You can do this online using your UPS My Choice® membership, or you can speak with one of our customer service representatives. Then you may pick up your package after you receive confirmation that it has been processed. If you have a 12-digit InfoNotice tracking number you can request to pick up your package online. Once you are on the Tracking Detail page, select Delivery Options. The Delivery Options window will appear, and you will need to select Pickup my package at a UPS location.
Enter your tracking number into the Tracking tool to see what day your package is due to arrive. Our drivers typically deliver between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Choose Send Updates from Tracking to receive email or text notifications.
It's easy to stay informed about your package status. Request email or text notifications through the Tracking tool.
If you need to change the delivery options for your package before the first delivery attempt, please contact the shipper for alternate arrangements.
To help ensure the safety of your package, the driver will try to leave your package out of plain sight. We recommend that you check all exterior doors and any locations where the package could be placed, including the porch, back patio, garage, and any area out of potential weather hazards. You should also check with anyone who might have retrieved the package. If you’re still unable to locate the package, contact the sender to start a claim.
Note: UPS urges package senders (rather than receivers) to initiate claims because package senders are in receipt of the most essential claim documents (invoices, receipts, detailed merchandise descriptions, tracking numbers, etc.).
Package senders or receivers can use our online submission process to report package damage. An inspection by a UPS representative may be required. You also have the option to submit photo documentation along with your claim. Although photo documentation is not a requirement, providing photos can help us resolve your claim more efficiently. If you are unable to submit a claim online, contact the sender to start a claim.
Note: UPS urges you to review photo documentation requirements to help prepare your damage claim.
Check the Shipment Progress section in Tracking for details about changes in delivery schedule. Shipment movement information is captured each time we scan your tracking label in the UPS delivery system. There may be several days between scans if the package is going cross-country or moving between countries.
Contact your sender and ask them to provide a UPS tracking number or a designated shipper reference number for your package.
Enter up to 25 tracking or UPS InfoNotice® numbers and quickly find out the latest delivery status for each shipment.
